Run the Gauntlet

Complete "Desperate Escape" on Professional.

To unlock Professional, you must first complete Desperate Escape on Veteran. You can also join a friend who has already unlocked Professional. Doing this will save you a playthrough and the achievement will still unlock. Works best in Co-op, since the A.I. isn't the best partner.

Alright, now it sounds silly to make a guide on each area specifically, since my general strategy was to just run, and kill what's only ABSOLUTELY necessary.

End Strategy To start out, you should definitely have a shotgun and a sniper rilfe. Start out by running into that little building that has the 2 machine gun ammo and the 1 shotgun ammo. Pick them up, but be careful as it's very dangerous. May take a few tries to get it right. After that, run over to the area near the elevator, and jump up to the top. Stay on the left side (left if you are looking out towards where you came from, above the elevator) The guy with the shotgun looks straight out and shoots the guys that jump up, knocking them off. A pistol works too but does less damage, and you can only shoot 1 at a time. The guy the the machine gun looks out over the bridge, and as guys run across it, shoot the in the legs, beware of leg armor, and then run up to them and press to finish them off, conserving ammo.

Around 4 minutes left, for me, a Red Executioner spawned from the elevator. Multiple enemies with guns also spawned. One will spawn across the bridge, and the other with spawn on top of containers if you look straight out. They don't always spawn when the Red Executioner spawns, but they always spawn in same locations. When the Executioner jumps up, run across the bridge, and primarily the shotgun will take him out, with the machine gun guy covering his sides. A sniper rifle also helps here. Careful as the Executioner will blow up, delivering damage to you, and sometimes a guy will come up the ladder to your right that explodes too.

At about 2 minutes left, when Doug comments on he will be right there, a Reaper will jump down right on the other side of the bridge. Back up as far as you can, having the shotgun guy covering the side, the rifle guy shoots the Reaper when its chest opens up and you can see the gold/white/yellow thing. It stuns him, and another colored weak spot will pop up, shoot that as well with the rifle, and it may kill him or another one will pop out somewhere. Shoot them 2 or 3 times with the rifle and he is dead.

However, another Reaper may spawn, but take the same steps to take him out, or run if neccesary. A good spot to hide for a bit is the corner straight ahead and to your left when you jump down, a box is in that corner. Another Red Executioner will spawn too, but I do not recommend killing this one. Most likely you are low on ammo, and your best strategy is to run to that corner I mentioned, wait a bit, then keep running back up top, then to corner, and so on. You will have to shoot some things though.

NOTE: The weapons I have listed are just suggestions, they are in no way needed, and you may not even obtain them throughout the playthrough. Weapon spawns are random.

I'm right there with everyone else who said how big of a pain this achievement is. I managed to finish it by myself but a little fyi to anyone who tries it solo. you have to be as selfish as possible, anytime your partner picks up an herb, take it. also save your sprays as long as you possibly can don't just use them to keep your health up. your best bet is to accept the fact that your going to die...A LOT!!! so save your sprays and try to be as accurate with your shots as you can.

Just got this today solo and what a pain! The AI can get dumb now and then. Standing about looking lost, not shooting or when I'm about to die HE/SHE THEY DO NOTHING!! lol Feel proud after 4hrs of frustration.

this achievement is a bitch, I got it yesterday by my self, really really tough, specially because the AI is really dumb at times and just uses the damn pistol,took me around 2 hours to get it, the hardest part is when you have to wait for the damn heli to pick you up, that was insane, but I'm glad I finally got it. :)

Me and my friend ended up quitting a lot and eventually we had villagers all the way to the final fight. The first time we were at the 1 min mark and the power went out and then we restarted and it went out before we got vary far.

My gamertag is TheCapital. It's tough to find anyone who can help complete this mission on professional. Beating it on solo doesn't seem very likely for me, even though I'm trying! Send me a message, this achievement is my top priority at the moment.

LOOK IF YOU BEAT THIS THING SOLO YOU ARE A TRUE ZEN MASTER AI IS SO STUPID...NOW MY GF AND I DID IT...YEAH WE DIED A LOT AND THAT UROBORO SHIT IN THE ROOM WITH THE CONTYAINER LASTS ABOUT 30 MIN NO KIDDING BUT YOUR BEST BET IS PLAYING COOP PERIOD MY GAMERTAG IS CXZOMBIE1980 CHECK ME OUT THANKS.

I'm still trying to beat this, not sure which character I should be, Jill gets killed when we get seperated which there isn't much I can do about it. Please help if you know what you're doing, thanks alot.

Just got it on solo. Wasn' t THAT hard. Sure, I died a lot, but I was pretty lucky with Josh sticking by my side all the time. In the last part, I just climbed the greenish small building with the collapsed roof and shot the majini as soon as they jumped up. Just stay there and hold your ground. And don' t kill the guy with the rocket launcher!! If you stay directly in the corner he can' t hit you but he keeps on shooting, knocking the other majini off the roof. THAT helped a lot!

I have been gaming some multiplayer achievements recently, if anyone wants to run through this then please let me know.

I have to complete it on Veteran again though as I lost my save file

I co-oped it last time to get it but tried on Solo last night twice and failed twice, once with the two chainsaw guys and once at the end (One time, Josh ran in front of my rocket launcher when trying to hit the red machine gunner at the end, awesome eh?)

This is a pretty hard on pro harder than pro in the main story only because you have no upgraded weapons/infinite amo you get what you find. I had the base majini in the beginning then the villagers then the base majini again for the final fight and it's extremely frustrating with them especially the assholes that shoot you with guns so just camp in the corner under the broken ceiling and just shoot them when they approach until the mini bosses (executioner, gatlin gun manjini, etc) show up that's when you got to move around a bit but if you come up with a good strategy good luck took me some time but it's not completely impossible

I am willing to do this with anyone who has a brain bigger than the A.I.There's just no possible anybody who adds me can be dumber.The last part is so fucking hard,I tried youtube videos I tried hints and stuff and I just can't beat it.I got the last timer down to like the last 30 seconds like,4-5 times but as I'm just running around in big WIDE circles away from the enemies the A.I. just figures out a way to fuck me and die.It pisses me off so bad because even if I try to go up a staircase he turns around and gets flooded and just fucking dies instead of going up the ladder like a fucking moron.The whole level is straight up easy to run through but this last part having to survive an onslaught for 7 minutes is just impossible for me alone.Anyone needing this or willing to help: GT-ajwsmac

Not that hard achievement. You should kill every Enemy on the way to get ammo/grenades. For the long way I would just recommend to stay calm. Just go slowly forward and kill the Enemies on the way. If you just run away you will die. Try to spare your shotgun and rifle ammo (the pistol will work against every Enemy besides the Reaper). At the end just climb up somewhere and defend yourself. Use the rifle/Magnum against the Gatling Gun guy and the rest will be easy.

Im still stuck on this one and ALL the multiplier versus achievements. I played alittle bit here and there but i always lost cause everyone loves to play that one bitch and then just dominate the map. So if anyone is online right now playing this game and would not mind helping me i would be most grateful. Oh and quick question if you dont have "Professional" unlocked yet can you still get the achievement if someone else does and you help them beat it? I almost joined someone on there but backed out cause i didn't think i would get it.

that was pain in the ass actually, but I made it :) ignoring all the enemies helps alot. at the end always stay at the corner and use strong weapons agains chainsaw maniacs and minigun senjours. good luck ;)

If you want some good ideas for solo play, you can look on youtube by searching up Desperate Escape professional, and I think there is a seven part playthrough that can be very helpful for this achievement.
